[lldb-dev] --top-level doesn't work in lldb for Objective-C or Swift :(

[Rex Fenley via lldb-dev]

Hey lldb team!

I'm trying to use `expr --top-level` from lldb in Xcode but it throws
errors like the following:

(lldb) expression --top-level -- NSString *str = @"This is a string";
Error [IRForTarget]: Couldn't replace an Objective-C constant string with a
dynamic string
error: cannot import unsupported AST node ObjCStringLiteral
error: The expression could not be prepared to run in the target


It seems like top-level only supports raw C code and not Objective-C. Is
there an option we can set to support this? Is there somewhere in lldb's
source code that could help point us to fixing this?

Thank you, you guys rule!
